In the unlikely event, we collide

Pay attention, we’re the ones qualified

As a flight crew, we’re trained for the worst

Remember, woman and children go first

Seats and trays, in the upright position

As we embark, on the next lengthy mission

Should turbulence rock this ship

It’s quite possibly, your very last trip

We suggest, if you want to stay alive

Grab a parachute and out the door, dive

Pray very hard, for a nice easy landing

Enjoy the flight, we hope it’s outstanding

Radioactive ~ #poetry #NaPoWriMo #AprilWriting

Platinum rockets outshine the night

Setting on fire, this battle of wills

Radioactive, they tarnish the skies

Feeling nothing, only out for the kill

Men, women, children, die horrible deaths

Tragedy strikes, not so unexpected

War torn and ravished, faraway lands

Unable to fight back, quite unprotected

Peace needs a place, to call its home

An Earthly portal, to welcome all

Three nations together, cannot do it alone

For when evil wins, the mighty will fall

 

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Syria, and to the men and women of our armed forces, along side France and Great Britain.  May God watch over them…

Alien Nation ~ #poetry #NaPoWriMo #AprilWriting

Spinning overhead, into the night
Whispers of sounds, quite loud

Growing still, in the approaching light
Waves of words, screaming, from clouds

Twas a galaxy filled, with millions of stars
Awhirl, chasing life, in the skies

Through the heavens, in search of Mars
On course, for a perilous demise

Misunderstanding, these creatures
Thought terror was on the attack

Unleashing their cold, deadly features
War broke out, turning skies into black

But, not even the blasters could guard
When worlds clashed, without hesitation

A galaxy of starlight, endlessly charred
There was nothing left, of this alien nation

My thoughts about humans are sinking

Shazbat! I think you have been drinking

We’re not like this on Ork

Makes you look quite the dork

When you speak, without even thinking

The Flux ~ #poetry #AprilWriting #NaPoWriMo

This continuous flow we’ve encountered
Has made us very incapacitated

Someone’s been pouring too much wine
At this bar, called The Flux, so outdated

Still, a gathering of others, keep streaming in
They all appear to be quite inundated

By the amount of spirits making the rounds
Which is making us all nauseated

So, we’ll meet by the old clock tower
The one that’s so antiquated

Get in the DeLorean, cause that’s the one
Where the driver has been designated

Strap on your seat belt, get ready to fly
Your senses will become exhilarated

For once you are in the car with Doc
You can count on being evaporated
